Takes All the Blame.

lThis communication, received yctterdry,
was crowded out for lack Of rOOm.I
Editor LIGHT:
In yPsterdRy's issue you published a
letter from Mrs. h. b. Chandler, the able
secretary Of the Van Dyke Art club. In
Justice to the board OF judges, who full
filled their part In the mOst impartial
and honorable manner, and to Miss
Dodge, who sent In her beautiful work,
and to Mrs. f. Is. Chandler, who felt an
injustice had been done a sister artist, i
desire TO make this statement: am the
only one to blame or censure In this
whole matter. a letter accompanied the
articles, stating they were for COM
petition, which was mislaid. When the
Judges asked me II Miss DOdge's work
was for competition, | said IL was not,
for so believed. After the awards had
been made, my attention was called to
the matter, and | was requested to ask
the judges to again open for new
award. This | refused to do, and Tor this
r. aSOn. The gentlemen had already
given q great deal Of time to the matter
and had handed in Il signed report.
Our published rules stated the fact
that competition was only open
to amateur talent, residents of the
state. knew Miss Dodge was
visiting here for health. therefore be-
lieyed had no right to ask them to
again consider the question. II | have
ere in judgment | beg pardon OF any
and all that are sRgrieved. | can only
say it WAS the head and not the heart.
would like right here upon this Oc-
casiOn TO say: The ladies OF this com
mittee Mrs. DignOwity, Mrs. Herti,
Mrs Chandler, Miss Lamb and Mrs. Ed
monds) have made this exhibition tue
success it has proved. | ain under per-
sonal obligations TO each lady, and
thank them most heartily for their noble
and faithful support.

SAPIENT SALISBURY.

There Is a refreshing simplicity about
the English premier which savors very
much Of mental dupllcity, to call 1t by
no haTsher name. The only reason he
has yet given for his haste to pass the
Irish coercion bill is that 1t lie necessary
to do so without any loss of time, "be-
fore Gladstone has had time to poison
the peoples minds against It," No more
self-oondemning admission has ever
been made by the official head OF re-
sponsible government. 1t is In effect to
say that his proposed measures will not
bear the scrutiny Of examination. That
they are SO unjust that the only hope Of
their being passed lies in the ignorance
OF the people concerning them, other
wise the public sense ofjustise would
condemn them; that they are so infa-
nous and Ubiquitous that they must be
crowded through commons before the
public conscience takes alarm and repu-
dates them SO utterly as to make their
passage thing impossible. This reason
Of Salisbury may have the merit OF
blunt directness. but has no other. That
a respectable body Of English cOnserva-
tiyes. and very considerable following
OF radicals, could be so lost to all sense
OF honor, manhood and Justice as to be-
come parties to suOh scheme Of poll
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1887-04-09

tical and national unrigheousness seems
incredible. This admission OF the great
English premier, great in bis faculty Of
self-deception and qualification, will be
made use Of by the advocates OF clean
handed justice for Ireland on all possible
occasions. IL may be that It will become,
after all, the most potent OF all Influences
In opening the eyes Of union'liberals to
the real character OF the war that lie be-
ing waged against Irish liberty. The
premier's admission OF his own weak
ness is a confession of the strength OF
the sentiment OF justice In the minds OF
the English people. It is equivalent to
saying that they only require TO have
the coercion bill explained to them in
order to reject it.

Strange, But True.

About a fortnight ago a traveller from
San Antonio saw an invalid lady travel
ing from San Antonio to Boerne. She
was then so sick and debllitated that she
could not move without assistance. lie
stayed at the same hotel, lodged In the
next room to her, and was kept awake a
large portion of the night by her suffer
ings. He returned home next day and
thought that In few days the lady
would find rest in the grave from her
sufierings. Guess his establishment
when, on visiting Boerne yesterday, he
saw the lady out driving with friend,
able TO support herself comfortably, and
progressing favorably towards recovery:
This wonderful change is all attributed
to the yiyifying air of BOerne.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION.

Ii would be alike unjust and ungener-
Gus to critioise unduly, or find fault cap
tionsly with the work Of The president
In selecting the members Of the inter-
state commission. The men whom the
president has selected 10 interpret and
administer that laws have had laid upon
them one of the most responsible duties
of this century. To no five men have
ever before been committed such inter-
ests; to no i've men has such authority
over the commerce and industry of this
country ever before been entrusted. 1t
Is not saying too much 10 say that this
commission has been most wisely chosen
In every way, save one. 1t Is not geo
graphically distributed as 1t should be.
For the immense region lying west of the
Mississippi river. there is not a repre-
sentative, territOrially considered. The
vast valley OF the Mississippi, lying be-
tween that river and the Rockies; The
great gulf region; the immense wheat
fields of the northwest; the Pacific slope,
all are unrepresented. 1t may be that
the president did not dare to trust his
Judgment outside of his personal knowl-
edge of men in so important a matter.
He may have considered it better to
wait for the commission to make them
selves familiar with these vast regions,
to which this interstate commerce law
means so much, rather than risk mis-
take in making appointments so far
from the sphere of his personal knOwl-
edge. The makeup Of the commission,
while unexceptiOnable as TO its per-
sOnel, is very much to be lamented on
account of its centering the committee
so largely in the eastern and, from q
western stand point, the trans-MissiS-
sippi states. 1t only proves that Grover
Cleveland is an eastern president and
merely considers the wants of that Sec
ton paramount to all others. He is
not the man for the west.

GEN. JOHN NJ. PALMER, of Springfield, ILL.,,
says he cannot quite forgive President Cleve-
land for not stopping in that city. It was a
great mistake, he said, and he could hardly
understand how man could pass by the
tomb of Lincoln without getting off the train,
going to the monument, and, with uncovered
head, pay his respects to the memory of the
noble and great martyred hero. The ex-Gov
ernor said be had personally written Colonel
Lamont, and others of his friends had also
written him, but it seemed to have no effect.
He said that under the circumstances he did
not feel like going down to st. Louis, and had
made up his mind to keep away. Before
Grover Cleveland gets half through with his
"tour of conquest" he will wish he had stayed
at home.

'sWORKINaMEN.u

DIR. Edenharter is masquerading as work
ingmen. BY what righta He is no more
workingnan than any other physician in the
city, or than Mayor Denny or any other law
yer. DIR. Edenharter was once cigar maker,
and for all we know, a good sone. and we do
not think any the less Of him for that. But
that was many years ago. AS cigar maker
he had right to call himself workingman,
in the political sense the term has come to
have, but as politician he has not. His
motto seeras to be, once workingman always
a workingman. We do not admit that a work
ter thar physician or lawyer, though he
may be personally a better and honester man.
sThe rank Is but the guinea's stamp-a mans
a man for a. that" But say man has no
right to sail under false colors an pretend to
be what he is not. The fact that DR.. Eden
harter was workingman years ago does not
make him one now For all we know his
political creator, Sim Coy, may have done
honest labor once Does that make him
workingman now2 We admit that Coy and
Edenharter are both working very hard just
now, but it is not the kind of work that en-
titles them to membership in the Knights of
Labor. DIR. Edenharter is no better and no
worse for having been a cigar-maker-if he
was a good one we honor him for having done
good workout having quit that business
long ago, he. has no right to claim to be a
workingman. We should say the same of
claim. No man has a right to solicit votes
under false pretenses. DR.. Edenharter is Sim
Coy's candidate for Mayor, and not a working
man.

A STORY they tell about Prince Bismarck
is that on his way back from Kissingen he
was awakened by the cheering of a huge
crowd at Halle station. In very bad humor,
he put his head out of the car window and
growled: perhaps you think l am going
to make long speechf WE'LL you are de-
ceiving yourselves! I much too tired.
Good night" And with that he slammed down
the window and drew down the blind. Bis
marck wasn't ''smart." He ought to have
tried Mr.. Clevelands plan of having a sup
ply of speeches printed before leaving home.
If he didn't want to go to the trouble of de-
livering them himself, as our President still
continues to do, he might have improved on
the idea by having an attendant read them to
to the populace while he slumbered on in
peace or else print large number and scat
ter them from the end of the train, while it
slows up at ''all considerable towns"
